Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher
The true secret of giving advice is, after you have honestly given it, to be perfectly indifferent whether it is taken or not, and never persist in trying to set people right.
Henry Ward Beecher
Nothing dies so hard, or rallies so often as intolerance.
Henry Ward Beecher
